EVENING STAR.
THE MOTHEB.
Her* 1* a bU of chirming feminias graceful -
In a amtlir.enf too delicate for a masculine
pen?Met her hoed in ita charge of Infancy
Wr.men know
The way to rear up children, (to be just,)
They know a simple, merry, tender snack
Of tying *a?hes, fitting baby-shoes,
And singing nr-tt-r word* that make no wn?9,
A ml kiseln^ fall sense Into e tij>?v words ;
W'hleh tkin^"4 are Ron's t>cut life upon
Although such trltt-scMUren kirubymeh,
love's h -ly earnest in a pretty play,
And get not over-.?arly soiemn!;t;d.?
But ? eing, as !n * rrsc bu?h, Love's Di"ine,
W h!ch bn-aa and hurts not,?not a single blcom,
Become avaw aod nn-.fraid of Love.
Much go jA <1o mothers. Fathers love a* "f'l
?Mine did, 1 know,?-b'lt still with heavier
brtius,
And wil,s more conseloeMy re*r?n,'b*e?
And art as wisely, sin e le<s r*>i shly;
So Ttjrthcrs have G-d'* Ucea?e to be missed.
